Pros

The opportunities for advancement at Dollar General are limitless. I have never worked at a company like Dollar General where you can see a clear path to growth and the growth is not stagnant. My coworkers are supportive, driven, and we work well as a team. Despite the size of the company I feel the teams I work with have great communication. There is a clear focus on internal growth and the company has the statistics to back this mission. Each year the company has an internal career fair to further encourage this pattern. This allows for the company to grow and the employees to grow with it.

Cons

Depending on the person, some may feel the company is very fast paced. I enjoy the pace because I know the fast paced environment is associated with sales and growth opportunities.

Pros

Good job for someone starting to get a job

Cons

Terrible oppurtunities for anyone actually trying to move forward. Boss literally had a stroke from this job and then was forgotten about.

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
